Fuji Restaurant

Pop Japanese Food

What we say:

A Thai chain restaurant that has spilled over into Laos, Fuji has quickly become one of the more popular Japanese restaurants in Vientiane.

The food is heavily Thai influenced, less in the composition, but certainly in the flavour and preparation. Sushi rolls reach new heights of mayonnaise and technicolor, but more at the expense of tradition than quality. The extensive menu offers a broad range of classic Japanese cuisine, seasoned in accord with punchy Thai flavours, instead of the subtle delicacy of traditional Japanese seasoning.

Prices are not for those on a budget. Ramen and rice-based dishes start at around 50,000 kip, and generous bento boxes cost around 100,000 kip. If you intend to include some sushi in your meal, expect to pay 150,000 kip upwards for food and drinks.
